Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle having a body, a first vehicle door, and a second vehicle door arranged behind the first vehicle door in a vehicle longitudinal direction. The first and second vehicle doors are each movably coupled to the body such that the first and second vehicle doors are movable between a closed position and an open position in a sliding-pivoting manner. The vehicle includes at least one passive locking device that interlockingly connects one of the first and second vehicle doors to the body of the vehicle when set at the closed position to form a vehicle pillar of the body of the vehicle.

Abstract: In one aspect, a latch assembly is provided. The latch assembly includes a claw movable between a latched position and an unlatched position, and a pawl movable between a first position and a second position. The pawl engages and holds the claw in the latched position when the pawl is in the first position, and the pawl disengages the claw for movement to the unlatched position when the pawl is in the second position. The latch assembly also includes a switch cam movable between a switch-off position and a switch-on position. The claw engages and holds the switch cam in the switch-on position when the claw is in the unlatched position, the claw releasing the switch cam for movement to the switch-off position when the claw rotates to the latched position.

Abstract: A camera arrangement for a vehicle, with a camera unit constructed to be pivoted between an active position and an inactive position, and a chamber accommodating the camera unit, wherein in the inactive position a sealing cover that seals the chamber is arranged on the camera unit, with the camera unit being inaccessible from outside, and wherein in the active position the camera unit is pivoted out of the chamber for optically capturing a surrounding area and the camera unit seals the chamber. A method for installing the camera arrangement in a vehicle is also disclosed.
